Over the years, being a sensitive to the subtle energies and their impact on me, forced me to be aware of what sorts of energies also reside in my home and the potential presence of negative ones.

Negative energy in your space that lingers around can cause you to experience many unpleasant things such as feeling irritable, your mind being foggy and it can also affect your emotional body where you might feel down, unmotivated and, in extreme cases, depressed.

In this article we’re going to explore how the energy that circulates in your home can affect you and also ways to remove what is called negative energy from your space so that you can have a home where you can rest, create, and feel safe.

So, let’s begin.

Feeling Energetically Off? You’re Not Alone

Why Negative Energy Feels So Heavy at Home

In my experience, negative energy at my place feels as if there is a weight pressing me down. The nature of negative energy has to do with its vibration, which is usually low, and also it being a dense form of energy created by emotional disturbances like fear, anxiety, etc.

But you don’t have to be a sensitive person to the subtle energies to feel that something is off in a space when you enter it.

In my experience, negative energy at my place feels as if there is a weight pressing me down.

Negative energy is so heavy that even the most unaware of other dimensions of reality can experience it as an unsettling feeling that they cannot put their finger on.

Learning to recognize negative energy in your space is the first step for you to remove it and restore harmony that will facilitate a healthy place to live.

How Crystals Work with Energy Fields

Crystals for me are not just pretty stones, but living entities. Their molecular structure, which is organized in precise geometric patterns (with a few exceptions like Obsidian that is a glass that is created from cooled down lava, and has an energy signature that is more linked to its connection to the grounding energy of earth and its black color), determines their particular energy signature and their properties to heal and transforming vibrations.

Crystals for me are not just pretty stones, but living entities.

These properties make crystals powerful tools for us to work with our own energy field and the energy field of spaces like your home.

A Note for Highly Sensitive People

The quality of energy that is around is especially important for people that are highly sensitive.

For me (before I learned to recognize the patterns either of my energetic makeup or the energetic makeup of things outside of me), this manifested in feeling either drained, or tired, or experiencing other unpleasant feelings after coming home and being exposed to people and external surroundings.

The quality of energy that is around is especially important for people that are highly sensitive.

Besides being able to recognize the different types of energies that I am expose to I also learned (as I mentioned in other articles) the importance of grounding and shielding myself and crystals are wonderful tools to assist you in doing so if you are also a highly sensitive person like me.

Understanding Crystal Shapes Before You Begin

One thing that people are not usually take into consideration when introduced to crystals (as it was my case to) is the influence of how the way crystals are formed on their energetic properties.

For instance, there are crystals that have visible lines on their surface, which are formed either from grooves or layers of different colors running across the stone. These lines act as energetic highways, helping stagnated energy to move and be released.

One thing that people are not usually take into consideration when introduced to crystals (as it was my case to) is the influence of how the way crystals are formed on their energetic properties.

Crystals, called terminated crystals, have a clear-cut point at one or either ends of their structure, and can direct the energy in a focused way to a desired direction.

Round shaped crystals, such as crystals having the shape of a sphere, or palm stones etc., can act as pools of energy or can radiate energy frequencies all throughout the space they occupy in a steady way.

So, considering the shape of the crystals you’re working with can help you be more intentional in your work with them.

5 Easy Ways to Remove Negative Energy at Home with Crystals

1. Use Crystals with Visible Lines to Direct Energy Flow Outward

As I mentioned above, the shape of the crystal can determine how it influences energy. So, let’s talk a bit more about crystals that have visible lines that run along the surface of a crystal. In this category fall the crystals that of Selenite and rough Tourmaline, the former having also the ability to raise the vibration of energies, and the latter to transmute any unwanted ones.  

As I mentioned above, the shape of the crystal can determine how it influences energy.

I also like to combine these crystals’ properties with setting a small altar to accentuate my intention of how I want them to act. For instance, if my intention is to clear an area in my home, I will add a framed picture of a stream, along with and taper candle colored light blue, which is the color of gentle healing.

2. Place Terminated or Rounded Crystals Around a Room for Energetic Balance

When I’m clearing my home, I like to use both terminated and rounded crystals.

Terminated crystals help me direct energy either out of place or into it. For instance, I like to place a terminated Hematite crystal either at one of my windows or near the door with having the clear intention in my mind to direct unwanted energy outside of my home.

When I’m clearing my home, I like to use both terminated and rounded crystals.

When I feel that the negative energy has been removed, I will place round shaped crystals to promote harmony and calmness in my home either in corners or at the center of the home, crystals that can be a Clear Quartz or Amethyst in the shape of a sphere.

3. Use Soothing Crystals to Create an Emotional Calm Zone in Your Home

When I want to create a soothing spot at my place to sit in whenever either I come home after being exposed to chaotic or dissonant energies that I might encounter when I am out, or having gone through a really long day, and want to unwind and relax I can do that by placing crystals there like Rose Quartz, Amethyst or Laced Agate in my bedroom or near an armchair.

I called these corners in my home “calm zones” and there are excellent spots where I can unravel from the stresses of the day and either meditate, or just relax there.

4. Stimulate Stagnant Energy in Your Space with Energizing Stones

Sometimes the energy in your home feels stale and you want it to move.

You can do that by placing simulating crystals like Carnelian, all Red Jasper around your home. These crystals can shake things up in a good way, making this stagnated energy become flowing again.

Sometimes the energy in your home feels stale and you want it to move.

That said, if you are going to do this you have to keep in mind that over stimulating energetically a space can create imbalance and you should always accompany these energizing crystals with grounding one’s like Smoky Quartz, along with diffusing calming essential oils in this space if you’re not allergic to them.

5. Break Through Heavy Lingering Energies in Your Home with Transformational Crystals

When difficult and even painful events take place in a house or a space, it is more than often that dense stagnated energies can linger there for a long time after the events have passed.

Here, transformative crystals like black Obsidian, or Black Tourmaline, placed strategically in your home, intending to transform the energy, can be of great help.

Conclusion

Removing negative energy from your home doesn’t have to be complicated. It only takes a few crystals positioned with intention and by reading the energy of your space that can make a substantial difference.

Remember, the energy of your home affects you and you affect the energy of your place, too. So be aware of what is going on in your home energetically using your intuition and apply the tips I mentioned above when you detect negative energy in it.

Till next time, take care.
